UNSPSC 20122851: Hydraulic power unit

Hydraulic power units provide pressurized flow to hydraulic motors, cylinders, and other hydraulic components. Hydraulic power units (HPUs) differ from pumps, as an HPU contains a fluid reservoir, multiple pump stages and coolers to keep fluid at a safe working temperature.

UNSPSC 20122851 Hydraulic power unit is a Commodity code that encompasses fluid-power equipment procured by state and local governments as components within larger systems, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows limited direct relevance. State and local jurisdictions, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and public entities acquire hydraulic power units as subsystems for specialized equipment used by law enforcement, public works, emergency services, and facility operations. Issuing bodies span state departments, counties, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose districts. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based governmental cooperative purchasing service, periodically coordinates multi-jurisdictional procurements that may include or reference hydraulic equipment and related systems as part of broader purchasing agreements.

The most recent opportunity tagged to this code is Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, seeking to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment. The solicitation encompasses participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and extends to public entities throughout the United States and Canada, including governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K–12 school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments. However, the RFP framing emphasizes law enforcement equipment broadly rather than hydraulic power units specifically, suggesting the code may be a secondary tag within a larger procurement scope. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov and direct questions to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. No set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or specific budget ranges are disclosed in available documentation.
